"Watch out--" I only had about three seconds to react before my body was harshly thrown to the side. I rolled a bit before finally halting to a stop. "Another person-- oh wait! Are you okay!?"
"Urgh... you really... knocked the wind out of...

Is she out of her fucking mind?
"We shouldn't take the vote now, i haven't gotten a chance to defend myself--" I argued. This can't be how this story ends, I put blood sweat and tears into friendships and relationships only for it to bite me in the ass..
"Let's hear this, I grant you five minutes!" She held out a hand.
"Five minutes is far too short for me to actually express all that I feel... I'll try to summ it up, but I'm not really great with words..." I sighed, finally looking up at all of my 'classmates' --no, friends. "We've been together through thick and thin. Whenever there was something wrong, I tried my best to help you guys. When you were upset, I tried my best to be there for you--a shoulder to cry on." I took my time looking into everyone's eyes. Some darted away and others held my glance. "Please... Please, listen to my words guys... Within the five or six weeks of knowing each other, I have never once asked for anything in return... Not even for your guys' comfort when I was upset...

"This...is ridiculous."
"Just...grant me this one thing? I'll never ask for anything again..." My shoulders shook as I tried to keep my breakfast down. Even while collecting my breath, the ground looked like it was going to collapse.
